Essendon admits providing players with unsafe workplace during supplements program, could be fined more than $600k

Two key figures in the ill-fated Essendon supplements program ignored clear protocols and sidestepped medical staff in their bid to give the team a competitive edge, a court has heard.

Representatives for the Bombers today pleaded guilty in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court to chargers players were not provided with a safe work environment despite policies and protocols put in place to protect them.

WorkSafe Victoria says Essendon, at the end of 2011 and in 2012, gave players supplements without taking necessary steps to reduce potential health risks.

After the club finished 8th in the 2011 season, two key figures came on board to implement the new regime - fitness boss Dean Robinson, who brought well-known sports scientist Stephen Dank with him.

They began a supplements program, injecting players with vitamins, amino acids and peptides, the court has been told.

Senior players and club doctor Bruce Reid raised concerns over this in January 2012, so Mr Robinson wrote a policy giving Dr Reid the power to approve or deny the use of any substances administered to players.

Under the policy, Mr Robinson and Mr Dank were to provide Dr Reid with the scientific and common name of substances, clinical findings about side effects or documents guaranteeing they did not breach ASADA or WADA guidelines.
